From my experiences - you get what you pay for. I know that sounds hackneyed, but it's been pretty true when I've tried to save some money on parts. Yeah if you're going through the dealer then you're dealing with huge middleman markup but if you go through a wholesaler you shave a a considerable amount of markup off.
That said, you can source OEM for what I'm sure is an inconsequential increase in cost over aftermarket. To me, doing it right the first time is better than trying to save a few bucks here and there and having to go back and redo the job due to poor quality.
